<p>Your chances look very good for most colleges and good for Engineering. Which college are you applying to?</p>

3

<p>I want to major in business and biology but looking at my bio sat 2 score, I feel its a bit low so I might only declare business and apply to the school of agriculture and life science.</p>

4

<p>You have a good chance, especially ED. Make sure to write a supplement that is very specific to the major you want and what school you chose so they see you are the right fit. </p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>

<p>What about my low sat 2 score? That won’t break me will it? >.<</p>

<p>Cornell requires you to submit all your scores, so the way I see it a good chunk of people have that 600s score they would rather hide, but have to submit anyway. You are not alone in having that one score (which isn’t horribly bad either). Above 650 is “decent”.</p>

<p>I just meant that it won’t make them second guess the applicant. It doesn’t really stick out in light of the rest of his application.</p>
